A
Occulomotor
B
Trigeminal
C
Facial
D
Glossopharyngeal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Although cavities or an abscess can be the underlying cause of teeth and jaw pain, these symptoms also relate to a more serious nerve disorder known as trigeminal neuralgia. Experienced neurosurgeon, Christopher Duma, MD, FACS, recommends that you follow through with a dental check-up for tooth pain at its onset.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mandibular nerve (V3) is the largest branch of the trigeminal nerve. V3 is the only branch of the trigeminal nerve that has both sensory and motor components. V3 receives sensory information from the lower third of the face, the floor of the mouth and jaw, and the tongue.
